The state of the Habs Rebuild - The Next step

[The Gr8 Dane]

The thread turn into a discussion of Hull against Caufield.

Come on guys there's not point doing that. It's even disrespectful to put those two names into the same sentence.

Caufield for me is the type of players that complete better all around player. He's not the engine on his line but he can play with those guys and be a spark. His natural goalscoaring ability make him a perfect fit on a top 6 but he will always have his flaws. You cannot expect all your top 6 forward to be big, able to play two way, physical and talented in the Ozone. Its all about balance.

Caufield has some dog in him , he's not great in his own zone but he hounds pucks in the ozone , of course he losses alot of battles but the willingness is there.

Look at other 1st/second line wingers in the league who put up 30 goals 60-70 points , not many are very good defensively , some 100 point guys are even bad at it (Panarin , Pasta). There's even huge guys who suck at it (Brady Tkachuk)

I thought Caufield played two of his best games all year in the last couple despite not scoring. He's was battling hard on the 2nd line and has set up a few beauties for apples. Loved seeing him separate the puck from Draisaitl along the boards in the O zone to set up a big goal.

Say what you want about him not being a line driver, but he's the one that's been stirring the drink on that line last couple games.

I agree his last game reminded me of the Caufield we saw coming down the stretch last season.
He absolutely has to get dirty and make plays to compliment his streaky scoring.

Le Canadien | Une reconstruction depuis 30 ans ? Nenni…

La victoire du Canadien samedi calmera la colère des partisans les plus impatients, mais la prochaine défaite les ramènera à la case départ. On évoquera à nouveau l’éventualité de congédier l’entraîneur et on manifestera son exaspération devant une reconstruction… « qui dure depuis 30 ans ».

Not sure I feel inclined to relive 30 years of low level psychological warfare waged by the Habs against me
